Male snowboards

Ride Machete 14/15:

The Machete has Lowrize Rocker profile with a flat section between the feet but rocker at the tip and tail lift the contact points out of the snow. This gives the board grip and float. This is a twin shaped board with twin flex meaning the board bends the same way at the nose and tail and is the same shape at both ends. The Machete has a medium/soft stiffness that means it is forgiving and flexible but doesn’t sacrifice all its responsiveness and control.

Ride Kink 14/15:

This park destroyer and fun time jib stick is as durable as it is smooth. With high caliber quality to withstand the harshest of urban beatings, it’s no surprise that this high performance butter snowboard rises to the top. Featuring our Twin Rocker shape designed for big-time landing stability and pop, hardy Cleave Edge™ steel and impact absorbing Slimewalls® technology.

Ride Manic 14/15:

The Manic has an All-Mountain Rocker profile. A rocker shape at the nose and micro camber under the feet. This design causes lift in the nose, improving float while maintaining speed through deep pow turns and variable conditions. This is a directionally shaped board with directional flex which means that the nose is softer than the tail and the shape is different from one end to the other. The Manic has a soft flex which means it is bendy and forgiving.

Ride Wild Life 14/15:

Joining forces with Ride engineers, team rider Marco Feichtner had a hand in refining this dialed ride. Delivering versatility for everything the mountain has to offer, the Wild Life snowboard features Ride’s All Mountain Rocker shape with playful LowRize™ rocker in the nose and the grippy stability of the flat zone under foot and through the tail. Complete with Slimewalls® sidewall, Carbon Array 3™ laminates and Fusion 4000™ base, this directional Ride snowobard will have you running wild from peak to park, with a responsive feel that won’t let you down.

Ride Helix 14/15:

It’s basic ergonomics that the toe and heel side of the body are different, why should your sidecuts be the same? The Helix snowboard offers perfect balance in the turn with different radii for each, and allows you to get more out of your turns with less effort. Whether you ride goofy or regular is irrelevant on this innovative asymmetric design because your heel side edge is the same regardless of what downhill direction you favor.
